The publication accompanying the exhibition „Fingerprints…“ by Paul Vanouse is the first volume of the Ernst Schering Foundation’s Publication Series dedicated to selected exhibitions and projects at the interface of art and science. The volume, edited by the exhibition’s curator Jens Hauser, contains playful elements, which conceptually mirror Paul Vanouse’s process-intensive biomedia art. In four theoretical essays, criminologist Simon A. Cole, science historian Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, curator Jens Hauser and the artist himself reflect upon the criticism of genomics inherent in the installations of “Fingerprints…” from an aesthetic, political and techno-philosophical angle.
